How to give the perfect handshake
In this concise instructional video, the presenter introduces a body‑language technique aimed at improving handshakes. Acknowledging cultural and personal variations, the speaker emphasizes that a strong, well‑timed handshake can significantly boost rapport and compliance. He cites a 2013 study published in Social Behaviour and Personality that showed agreement to donate to charity rose from 53.3% to 95% when a “good” handshake was used. He also references earlier work by French psychologist Yeguian, who demonstrated that a brief upper‑arm touch during a handshake increased tip percentages for waitstaff. The presenter encourages viewers to try the method, offers to share more scientific details via direct message, and promises to add a practical demonstration to the video.
